Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigerian Senate has denied reports of a fight over seating arrangements at Tuesday\u2019s plenary.<\/p>\n

Reacting to media reports at a press briefing after plenary, Senate Spokesman, Senator Yemi Adaramola, stated that seating arrangements have always been known to each senator in the red chamber, and the reported confusion or fight was peddled falsehood intended to mislead the public.<\/p>\n

Legislators of the upper and lower legislative chambers resumed plenary after the Easter and Sallah break.<\/p>\n

Also, lawmakers in the upper and lower legislative chambers were relocated to temporary chambers, where they have been holding plenaries since the renovation work of the National Assembly Complex began in 2021.<\/p>\n

At the resumed session on Tuesday, some Senators expressed disappointment over seating arrangements.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s sitting faced difficulties in live transmission of proceedings as electronic facilities were yet to be fully installed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the spokesman, in defense of what happened, stated, \u201cThe unfounded story of a phantom fight over seating arrangements is an unscrupulous attempt to drag the image of the Senate into unnecessary and needless controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the general public to disregard the odious song of sorrow from \u201cthese incorrigible wholesalers and retailers of falsehood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no disagreement, rancor, or any verbal tirade regarding the seating arrangements in the Senate chamber. The Senate resumes today in the newly renovated chamber, and the seating positions of Senators were done in accordance with established legislative protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n
